The Only Time You Fail is When You Stop Trying| Game on Glio

SEASON 5 Ep 2 (our 50th episode!): “The only time you fail is when you stop trying” Guest Dr. Sheri Dewan

There is a Chinese proverb- “The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.” We never know what we are on the cusp of until we finish the journey. And, while failing teaches us many things, we don’t have to be scared of failing. We should only be scared of walking away.

In today’s episode, our 50th episode of The Game On Glio Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Sheri Dewan, a board certified Neurosurgeon with expertise in neurological and spine surgery. Dr. Dewan is also a best selling author, having recently published her book- Cutting A Path: The Power of Purpose, Discipline, and Determination. She performs neurosurgery at Ascension Health Wisconsin in Milwaukee, WI, and treats patients with brain and spine issues, brain tumors, degenerative disc disease and SI joint dysfunction. Dr. Dewan specializes in minimally invasive robotic spine surgery.

As one of only 200 board certified women neurosurgeons in the United States, Dr. Dewan is passionate about supporting other women in the medical fields, especially surgery and ER medicine.

However, her path to becoming a top neurosurgeon was not without its challenges.As a mother of three, a wife, and a public speaker, Dr. Dewan found herself on the edge of questioning her path in life. Her drive, purpose, and determination, along with support from other women and her husband, helped her see her way through. She now helps others, donates her surgical talents in third-world countries, and promotes the idea of seeing something through to the end.

She and I sit down, during this brain cancer awareness month, to talk about her life in neurosurgery, her book, where she sees the area of brain tumor advancements, and her hopes for the neuro-medicine and surgery in the coming years.
